Kinetic energy is the energy that is possessed by an object that is moving. It is calculated by one-half the product of the mass and the square of the velocity of the object. We calculate as follows:<span>

For the truck,
KE = mv^2 / 2
KE = 20000 kg (110 km/h (1 h/3600 s)(1000 m / 1 km))^2 / 2
KE = 611111.11 J

For the astronaut,
KE = 80.0 kg (27500 km/h</span>(1 h/3600 s)(1000 m / 1 km)<span>)^2/2
KE = 611111.11 J

The kinetic energy possessed by the two bodies are the same.

If the speed of a wave doubles while the frequency remains the same, it means
sattari [20]

Answer:

Explanation:

Velocity of a wave is describe as

velocity =Frequency × Wavelength

Mathematically

v = fλ

Hence, Frequency, F = v / λ

Wavelength λ = v/f

So, if the frequency is kept constant, wavelength of the wave becomes directly proportional to velocity of the wave.

And this implies that, as the speed double, the wavelength is double.

No spacecraft has been built yet that was able to absorb harmful
radiations in space, change weather conditions on Earth, or destroy
meteors and comets which might strike Earth.

We should continue to send robotic spacecrafts into space
because they help discard some myths about objects in space. 
In other words, they help us learn things that we never knew before.

You normally drive a 12-h trip at an average speed of 100 km/h . Today you are in a hurry. During the first two-thirds of the di
kherson [118]

Answer:

78 km/h

Explanation:

If I normally drive a 12 hour trip at an average speed of 100 km/h, my destination has a total distance of:

  • 100 km/h · 12 h = 1,200 km

Today, I drive the first 2/3 of the distance at 116 km/h. Let's first calculate what 2/3 of the normal distance is.

  • 1,200 * 2/3 = 800 km

I've driven 800 km already. I need to drive 400 km more to reach my final destination. I need to figure out my average speed during this last 1/3 of the distance.

To do this, I first need to calculate how much time I spent driving 116 km/h for the past 800 km.

  • 116 km/1 h = 800 km/? h
  • 800 = 116 · ?
  • ? = 800/116
  • ? = 6.89655172

I spent 6.89655172 hours driving during the first 2/3 of the distance.

Now, I need to subtract this value from 12 hours to find the remaining time I have left.

  • 12 h - 6.89655172 h = 5.10344828 h  

Using this remaining time and my remaining distance, I can calculate my average speed.

  • ? km/1 hr = 400 km/5.10344828 h
  • 5.10344828 · ? = 400
  • ? = 400/5.10344828
  • ? = 78.3783783148  

My average speed during the last third of the distance is around 78 km/h.

Explanation:

Ans. (1) For preparing vaccines, in olden days,microbes were injected in the bodies of horses ormonkeys. These laboratory animals used to makeantibodies to defend these microbes. Antibodies areproteins which can act against the disease-causinggerms. These antibodies were extracted from theblood of these animals and were used as vaccines.(2) Now-a-days with the advent of biotechnology,the vaccines are manufactured in laboratories withthe help of bacteria. For this purpose, a detailedstudy of the disease causing germ is undertaken.The genes and the DNA of such microbes arethoroughly explored. Then based on thisinformation, proteins which can act against suchmicrobes are synthetically prepared in thelaboratories. The safe vaccine is produced in such away which can defend the body against infections.3) Some types of vaccines are prepared from theextracts of germs. These germs or microbes aredeactivated and made dormant. When they areinjected in the body of a person, they initiate thedefending action. The body of such vaccinatedperson, already develops the antibodies in his or herbody. When in future, this person is again attackedby similar germs the defence starts immediately andthe person does not become sick.
